Luxembourg Creative Lab (LCL) has successfully completed its second national pilot workshop within DeepTech for Creative Trust: Countering Deepfakes and Enabling Ethical AI in the Audio-Visual Industry, an Erasmus+ KA210-VET project (Project Nr. 2025-2-LU01-KA210-VET-000371932).

The workshop marked the completion of LCL’s two national pilot sessions under Activity 2 – Piloting and Producing Educator Resources, contributing to the wider validation process taking place across Luxembourg, Germany, and Bulgaria. In total, the project foresees six pilot workshops—two in each partner country—to test the training programme in different educational and professional contexts.

About the Workshop Series

The DeepTech for Creative Trust project is developing the training programme “Ethical AI for Creative Trust”, designed to strengthen the ability of educators and creative professionals to navigate the opportunities and challenges created by generative AI and deepfakes.

The programme focuses on five core competences: Deepfake Literacy & Analysis, Pedagogical Prompting, Data Protection & Privacy Management, Intellectual Property & Copyright, and Curriculum Integration. Through the national workshops, these competences are being tested in practical settings so that the consortium can assess the programme’s relevance, usability, and transferability before its finalisation.

Following LCL’s successful first workshop, which introduced participants to the programme and its practical approach to ethical AI, Workshop No. 2 moved the validation process forward by focusing particularly on the ethical, legal, and curriculum-integration dimensions of AI use.

What Was Covered

A major focus of the second Luxembourg workshop was Data Protection and Privacy Management. Participants considered the implications of using AI tools in educational and creative environments, including the handling of personal information and the responsibilities educators need to consider when incorporating such technologies into their teaching.

The workshop also explored Intellectual Property and Copyright, addressing increasingly important questions around AI-generated and AI-assisted creative content. Discussions considered authorship, ownership, licensing, and how educators can help learners use emerging AI technologies while respecting creative rights.

The third major dimension was Curriculum Integration. Participants examined how ethical AI competences can move beyond theoretical knowledge and become part of actual teaching practice. Particular attention was given to how educators can adapt existing courses or develop new learning activities incorporating responsible AI use, privacy awareness, intellectual property considerations, pedagogical prompting, and deepfake literacy.

Rather than treating these topics purely theoretically, the workshop encouraged discussion, practical reflection, case-based learning, and exchange of professional experiences. This allowed participants to consider how the concepts could be applied within their own educational and professional environments.

From Training to Practical Educator Resources

An important purpose of Activity 2 is not simply to deliver training, but to use the workshops as a laboratory for improving the project’s educational resources.

The experience and feedback gathered during the Luxembourg workshops will therefore contribute to the development and refinement of course syllabi and explanatory video resources. The project foresees at least six detailed syllabi incorporating clear learning outcomes, assignments, and teaching strategies covering deepfake analysis, pedagogical prompting, data protection, privacy, intellectual property, and curriculum integration.

The materials produced through the pilot process will subsequently undergo cross-review by the project partners to ensure their pedagogical quality, consistency, accessibility, and alignment with responsible and ethical AI principles.

Completing LCL’s National Pilot Workshop Series

With the successful completion of Workshop No. 2, Luxembourg Creative Lab has now delivered both of its national pilot workshops foreseen under Activity 2.

The two workshops represent an important step between the development of the Ethical AI for Creative Trust training programme and its wider dissemination. By engaging educators directly in the validation process, the project ensures that its final resources are shaped not only by research and expertise but also by the experiences and needs of the professionals who may ultimately use them in their teaching.

The Luxembourg results will now become part of the broader evidence gathered through the six workshops taking place across the three partner countries. This cross-country validation is designed to ensure that the final programme is practical, transferable, and relevant across different VET and higher-education contexts.

Looking Ahead

The completion of LCL’s second workshop brings the Luxembourg piloting phase of Activity 2 to a successful conclusion, while the wider DeepTech for Creative Trust project continues toward the consolidation and dissemination of its educational resources.

The insights collected across Luxembourg, Germany, and Bulgaria will support the consortium in refining the training programme, syllabi, and explanatory resources before they are presented to a wider community of educators, creative professionals, and stakeholders.

Through this process, Luxembourg Creative Lab continues to contribute to a shared European objective: helping educators and creative professionals use artificial intelligence critically, creatively, and responsibly while strengthening resilience against deepfakes and other forms of AI-enabled manipulation.
